2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Using this setup was a great way to start the day. These Seaforth! scents are far too good to go away when Dennis closes his shop.

- Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
- Razor: Stando Perun
- Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
- Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Samhain
- Post-Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Samhain AS; Alterra Men sensitive ASB
- Passes & Info: 3-pass face shave. Very rare occurrence for me. A few tiny blood spots on the neck and chin, but otherwise a really close and comfortable shave!
So I did a head shave earlier before my late shift, also with Samhain but just WTG with a cartridge razor since I was already running late.
Work was really exhausting, so I looked forward to yet another great scented shave with one of my favourite soaps ever. This is a proper return of Witchcrafts Wednesday, as I haven’t had a 3-pass shave in ages! The Perun made short work of all the stubble around my circle beard, but honestly I’m glad once it’s moustache season in November. Not the biggest fan of doing the contour lines over and over until it’s finally right…
Turns out the most problematic thing isn’t ATG for me, but XTG. At least that was the least comfortable pass and the one where blood spots started to appear in two different spots. No big deal, as the shave was really comfortable everywhere else. But this is worth keeping in mind. I want to use my “Moustache November” to gain more proficiency at shaving my face (except the upper lip and maybe soul patch area) and I look forward to it. Should be fun in an otherwise gloomy month. Have a good time!
Samhain is so good…

The CB premium base is just phenomenal. I also really enjoy the figgy-green-boozy DFTR, I don’t think it gets the love it deserves.
Have a great day!
I agree with you about the Premium base.
I know that DFTR stands for Done for the Retirement in CB world, but every time I see it, I think “Don’t Fear the Reaper”.

Ha, I love this!
I personally think of something way less cool or wholesome when I read that acronym, but that Blue Oyster Cult song is a true classic. 👍🏻
It’s a song that will stay in your head :)
Definitely! Despite the melancholic tune, it has a really catchy and memorable rhythm.

$discord Very nice shave. Great razor, maybe even the greatest of all time. It feels mild-medium but has efficiency like no other.

Incredible that you can get a great shave with just a blade and no razor.
Felt dangerous yesterday (i just now noticed this)
